## Summary

NHS Greater Manchester Integrated Care Board procured specialist ADHD and autism diagnostic assessment services for patients in Greater Manchester. The service covers comprehensive neurodevelopmental assessments, diagnostic reports and associated clinical recommendations, supporting patient choice and improved access to timely assessment. It is a healthcare service delivered by an ICB-accredited provider, within the medical specialist services category. The requirement is relevant to organisations providing ADHD and autism diagnostic assessments, clinical neurodevelopmental services and related reporting. The selected provider, Amethyst Assessment Centre, is based in Bolton, while the buying organisation is based in Manchester. The service must be delivered in line with national guidance and local service requirements, so suppliers need appropriate clinical capability and familiarity with NHS and local commissioning expectations.

This procurement has been awarded following a Provider Selection Regime Direct Award Process B, using an award procedure without prior publication of a competition. The tender is complete. Amethyst Assessment Centre was selected, and the contract is active. The award was evaluated on price. The contract was signed on 1 August 2026 and runs for seven months, from 1 August 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its total value is £500,000. One bid was recorded. The arrangement is subject to the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 rather than the Procurement Act 2023 regulations. NHS Greater Manchester Integrated Care Board is both the buyer and commissioning organisation. The award decision was made by its finance commissioning leadership and Executive Committee.

For a supplier that did not win this award, the procurement demonstrates established demand in Greater Manchester for externally delivered ADHD and autism diagnostic capacity. A credible future competitor would need to operate as an ICB-accredited provider and demonstrate the clinical expertise, governance and capacity to deliver comprehensive neurodevelopmental assessments at scale. It would also need to produce reliable diagnostic reports and clinically appropriate recommendations, with processes aligned to national guidance and local service requirements. Experience of supporting patient choice, improving access and managing timely assessment pathways would strengthen its position. The buyer used a direct Provider Selection Regime route and assessed price, so a potential competitor would need a clear, cost-effective service model alongside robust clinical delivery and NHS commissioning experience.
